Well the Apple bug has really got me now, started with a 30GB iPod, got rid of the PC. Now I have a Apple TV on it's way to me. Just been looking at the Awkward TV site, has anyone here followed items on there to get Mac OS and DIVX/XVID working on their ATV? Any pointers or any other solutions?

Also is it worth adding DIVX/XVID (Perian) or do Apple push out updates to block such tweaks?_________________Current: 20" iMac 2.4GHZ 2GB RAM 500GB HDD 10.6 using a 1TB Time Capsule, 2.4GHZ Macbook and 2G 16GB iPhone.

Well my ATV is here and I like what I see, anyone here used the patchstick method to install Divx\Xvids codecs?_________________Current: 20" iMac 2.4GHZ 2GB RAM 500GB HDD 10.6 using a 1TB Time Capsule, 2.4GHZ Macbook and 2G 16GB iPhone.

I have just been using Handbrake and iSquint to convert all my stuff to H.264, just so I know it will always play.

What about using Quicktime Pro, any good for converting avi to ATV?

While I do use QT Pro, I use FFmepgX to convert my .avi's to something ATV/iTunes compatible. Neither of them is free. QT Pro does an excellent job at converting editing but, it's a bit slow. FFmpegX is not much faster but, a whole lot more versatile.

I use Handbrake to rip DVD or image files to MP4, so I can view them on my Apple TV. I have also purchased Visual Hub to convert AVI or other types of video files to MP4._________________Current: 20" iMac 2.4GHZ 2GB RAM 500GB HDD 10.6 using a 1TB Time Capsule, 2.4GHZ Macbook and 2G 16GB iPhone.
